It really pumps me up when I get the chance to write on something I really care about—like how we should all be recycling more glass—and then serendipitously find myself pelted by still more resources, inspirations and fresh ideas. I know, I know, it makes me look like a scatterbrain to keep posting all these little afterthoughts ... But I simply had to share another idea that's been rolling around like sea glass in my skull: recycled glass jewelry.
Recycled glass jewelry offers a luminous, natural effect that's perfect for adding a cool touch to your summer wardrobe. What grabs me is how safe and natural choice it makes for children's jewelry. Spats over lead-contaminated Hello Kitty necklaces and phthalate-packed headbands pale when you can offer up a leather thong with what appears to be a trinket from a mermaid's treasure chest.
Cool off with these fresh finds, starting with a spray of sea glass jewelry. Keep reading for the most recent Twitters about recycled glass jewelry—you're sure to make some new discoveries there, too.

Love this article, but I must add "Sea Glass Jewelry isn't just for the summer anymore"! Sea glass is beautiful in rich earth tones such as amber, green, gold and even black (although black is very rare). As a New Englander I appreciate the colors of the changing seasons and wear my sea glass jewelry year round.

Hi Lisa,
I would like to thank you for your sea glass jewelry feature and for adding a link to my website as well. Out Of The Blue Seaglass Jewelry has been making sea glass jewelry since 1987 using only genuine sea glass that was worn smooth by the tides and was collected from the beach. Although we are the oldest full time large scale sea glass jewelry business in the world we have only been online for two short years. Before that we sold our jewelry on the beach and in a gallery space in the Caribbean. Currently we are in the process of creating a new website. Please stay in touch!
Thanks,
Lisl Armstrong,

It's great to have more people recognize that there are more creative ways to recycle glass. Customized sea glass jewelry is particularly fantastic if you use a personal piece you have found yourself. This makes a thoughtful gift for everyone young and mature, male and female at any time. These pieces also become suitable as heirlooms as the glass itself is drenched with history and science. For inquiries regarding for information on sea glass, Mermaid's Purse is very educational, fun, beautiful and friendly for all viewers. Thank you again for expressing your excitement in sea glass.

The wonderful thing about beach-found sea glass is that no two pieces are the same - and the same is true for sea glass jewelry so it's a great place to start for anyone that wants something a little bit different from what everyone else is wearing. From casual to red carpet glam, there's an artist and style for everyone!
